Osoyoos "camping"

So my Dad planned this amazing weekend getaway for my family last weekend.

We stayed in an adorable cabin and had 7 acres all to ourselves right on the water!

It was so perfect for the kids!

They had so much room to run and play!
Dawson even came and LOVED it!

So Nathan and I aren't "campers" by any means...

We told Jermaine we were going "camping" because to us, THIS is camping...

Bed, Shower, Kitchen, but no insulation...Yes this is OUR type of "camping"

Well the poor thing...We get to the House late Friday night,

He had been sleeping most the trip and woke up when we got there.

He looked around and said (with tears in his eyes)

"I thought we were going camping??"

My sweet little boy thought we were going to "tent" it...

But after a good night sleep he was very happy to wake up with his cousins!

Larry and Cathy Lewis also joined us and Phil (Josh's Brother)

Such a strong little boy haha

You were so missed Laura and Josh

Braxtyn's 1

Our sweet baby girl is 1...

This past year has gone by quite fast.

All last week and this week

my mind races back 1 year ago...

So much happened...

And happened quickly...

I keep thinking...ok, did I enjoy it...Do I remember everything?

Honestly..Picking her up is kind of a blurr mixed with fear from her short

hospital stay, mixed with excitement just to get home!
From day 9 (when we got her)
her personality hasn't changed much!
Braxtyn is very determined to get what she wants.
She is a little spit fire I say.
She wants everything her brother has and has to know
what is going on ALL the time.
Nathan calls her "hip" because that is where she wants to be 24/7
She is sassy but sweet...
Rough but cuddly
She hasn't slept through the night since December :)
Yes LONG LONG restless nights! (I think of you dear cousin Ang)
(Thank you to my sweet mother who steals her whenever she can so I can get a full nights sleep!)
But all in all, I cant imagine my life without her!
She brings us so much joy!
We are soooo in Love!
I say this all the time, but I am TRULY blessed!
Jermaine and Braxtyn are the best gifts God has given us!
Yes, Nathan and I are SO into our children
because they are everything we have ever wanted!

So last Sunday, May 13th, Mothers Day.
We celebrated Jermaine and Braxtyn's Birthday with
the extended family!
It was so much fun! Such beautiful weather!
(As I was looking through these pictures I noticed she wasn't smiling in
most of them...that is her, She is so happy and smiles most of the time,
but when you throw in 30 faces she doesn't see everyday she gets shy!!)
